Update Roadmap!
🕑 Added 2021-05-19 04:15:46 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Just wanted to share another progress report of what's going on with House Chores as things are starting to fall into place as far as what I want to do for this next update.
== Julie Focus ==
This update will indeed focus on Julie (pictured above)!
Scrubbed from the previous update, which was originally intended to be for her, things are now moving well enough that she can get her time to shine once again. I'll detail some of the main things that this update will bring:
1: New NSFW Scene
She's had a sketch of a scene that was done before the artist swap so we'll be piggy-backing off of that sketch and will properly finish it! It's a good pose and should make exercising around the house a little more fun and 'rewarding' ;)
2: Redraw
I know some people may be asking why but it's very important to get a redraw in for Julie for a number of reasons. For one, I think her current bust could use some tweaking with the pose & expressions to be a bit more expressive as she's intended to be. This should make a big difference in her dialogue.
2.1: New Costume
Additionally, I want to give her a separate outfit for when she's exercising and so if I'm going to do a bust redraw at some point in time, it makes no sense to have the costume designed over her original bust when it'll get replaced.
The redraw is getting started now so I should have some teasers of that soon!
3: Bonus Stuff?
I've been talking about this in previous updates but new bedrooms, more on-screen interactions & interactable characters, etc. Stuff that's not necessary for this update but still important to work on, I'm hoping to knock out a couple of these things!
I'll also be looking back at some of Julie's original content & tweaking some things.
== Full Speed Ahead! ==
I'm also happy to announce that the art rotation for Town of Passion is complete! This means Mogucho, the current lead artist for House Chores, is able to focus entirely on HC tasks! Since the previous update, Mogucho has worked on ToP & HC at a 50/50 split so updates should start releasing much more consistently moving forward.
Unlike my other games, House Chores requires a lot more complicated stuff like backgrounds, on-screen interactables, etc. My goal is to have a new update every 2 months but b/c of this stuff, we'll see. Updates every 2 to 3 months seems a bit more reasonable as some updates may take much longer depending on complexity.
== Release Window: June ==
I think it's safe to say May will not be possible to release this next update. The Emily redraw, while important to get done, does set me back a tad bit as far as relevant content needed for this update.
However, an update in June seems very possible. Since this update doesn't require a new room location, I think that will be really helpful.
I can't give an exact date yet but I do have my sights set on a June release! I'll let you know a specific date as we get closer!
======
That's everything for this update. Next Patreon update should be an actual teaser/look at upcoming content!
Thank you all so much for your support and I will see you all soon with more House Chores goodies!!
